Jed, as I struggle through "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Theory" and attempt to coax note-like sounds from my bottom-of-the-line keyboard/controller, I ponder your masterful composing, scoring and playing of all the instruments on Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and quietly curse you out in old-school Viennese style. (Think Salieri.) Rock on, young Whedon, rock on.

I jest o' course, put yer feet up, let your hair down, take a load off plus etc. Happy birthday Mr Jed Whedon esq., have a corker and make it be just one in a long line of corkers extending well into the future. And remember, if you remember this advice during your celebrations then you're not doing it right ;).
